If Michigan canât have him, the Pistons can. #Science
I wouldnât call what the Pistons do the highest level of basketball
I certainly hope he enters the mix.
My base assumption with guys like Bud and Monty whose next job is head coach and not an assistant is that they sit next year and try to regain a semblance of human life.
I certainly wouldnât mind going from one former COTY to another.
Going into the lottery, hereâs the UMHOOPS PISTONS DRAFT BOARD:
- Victor Wembanyama
- Scoot Henderson
- Brandon Miller
- Cam Whitmore
- Jarace Walker
Rooting for you guys in the lottery tonight! Iâm jealous of anyone with a first round pick since my Wolves traded their next 25 to the Jazz for Rudy GobertâŚ
Iâd take Miller over scoot, we have guards
When youâre bad, BPA always
Hereâs a question: Are we sure Scoot is good? Was significantly worse this year than Jalen Green was in his G League year for example.
Iâm in on Scoot for plenty of reasons but this clip alone is enough to make me think heâs gonna be fine
He was such a competitor when they played Wemby. And looked the part
Are we sure anyone is good? Brandon Miller shot 8/41 (3/19 3PT) in the NCAA tournament for example.
Scoot is a different player than Green so I donât think the comparison really matters. Green is a better scorer. Scoot is a better passer/playmaker.
Adding a few more cuz they popped up when I searched for the first clip. The fact that all of these are from the same game, essentially attacking Wemby, is kinda crazy.
Yeah, but Scoot was a pretty horrible scorer in the G League. He needs to make some pretty marked improvement there.
I get the sense that there was a lot less defense played in these two exhibitions than there is usually in a G League game.
BPA always
FWIW Peltonâs statistical translations really hate what he did this year. Heâs 60th in the stats-only model and 10th in the stats + Givony big board model. SoâŚmaybe? But he did have some injuries and Vecenie mentioned in his most recent mock draft pod that WOTS is Scott was just kind of bored and making sure he didnât get hurt and all that. Which, realistically, given he had already locked up at worst a top 5 pick seems not unreasonable.
The highlights I watched of him the year previous I thought were just super impressive. Liked the athleticism and loved the poise operating in the ball screen. The most mature operator I can remember there. If youâre worried the athleticism works, I think itâs fair to start being concerned bc then maybe he just canât get an advantage and make everything work as a primary creator? The shot isnâtâŚgreat, but 77% from the line really isnât that bad even if itâs not good. Easy to imagine that being NBA league average by the time heâs 24 and needs to start carrying the team.
Scoot also broke his face this year IIRC
